High Ropes Course Info

When participating in our high ropes course, you’ll be securely connected to one of our experienced facilitators who will be “on belay” as you climb. This safety system ensures that every adventurer—has the support they need to push their limits with confidence.

As you conquer each of our five high elements, a rope attached to your harness keeps you protected. Your belayer (the facilitator managing your safety) holds the other end of the rope, running it through a belay device attached to their harness. Whether you’re navigating our outdoor rope course, climbing to the top of a challenge, or preparing for the zip line, the belay system is there to catch and lower you safely if needed.

This secure climbing system is designed to hold your full weight with minimal effort, making it an essential part of our zipline and ropes course experience. Whether you’re tackling a high ropes challenge or flying through the air on our zip line, rest assured—our expert facilitators and professional-grade equipment have you covered.
